Red Wing Minnesota

Red Wing Minnesota is the only city in Minnesota listed by National Geographic as a historical treasure. Red Wing Minnesota was recently named one of the top 25 historic destinations in the world by National Geographic Traveler magazine.

Nestled in the scenic bluffs of the upper Mississippi River, Red Wing is less than an hour's drive from either the Twin Cities or Rochester.

We love to take a day trip from our home in St. Paul to browse the shops. We've long been collectors of famous Red Wing pottery so always stop in at the Red Wing Pottery Museum.

Some of our favorite bed & breakfast getaways are also in Red Wing. When fall color is at its peak you can also find us on the Great River Road heading that direction.
